The State Duma (State Duma) at its plenary session approved a bill that sets a new memorable date in Russia — April 19 — as the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the genocide of the Soviet People committed by the Nazis and their allies during the Great Patriotic War. A live broadcast from the meeting was posted on December 16 on the website of the State Duma.
